Default What's everyone using these days to get the driver DP top bolt off?

Doing DP and exaust tomorrow and want to see if anyone has figured out a "less-blood" method.

TIA.

Default Hey Hal, my tech uses this....

He puts one end on the bolt, then puts a big allen key in the other end to get more leverage.

Oh, there is a 17mm on one end, and 14 on the other that he uses.
